Are you aware that some Internet providers are now forbidding certain
types of pictures that may be considered harmless; I'm not saying that
this one applies here, but I happen to know that some providers will
cancel your account if you post ANY picture of a minor without being
able to provide a legal consent to release.
And if you think they are harmless, the Internet provider in question
turned over information to local authorities who apparently considered
this sufficient evidence to secure a search warrant. (I don't believe
this was the US, but I'm not absolutely sure; laws in the UK and
Canada are much more restrictive than those in the US.) And having
searched the person's hard drive, it turns out that he had material on
said hard drive that was illegal in his locality.
BTW, current precedent in the US says that file encryption does not
help you. Apparently, the password is NOT protected by the 5th
Amendment right to not provide incriminating evidence against
yourself. In short, not providing the password results in you going to
jail for contempt of court.
